- I either look awkwardly thin or puffy. No in-between. I'm destined to be an abnormality.
). I'm trying to lose weight for the military, but I can't find a way to do it that works for me. I walk almost every day, but it's not helping much. I wish there was something else I could do. Squishy is exactly the word I'd use to describe myself too. But I have to ask, have you ever asked your parents to start buying healthier stuff? I would think they'd be proud and want to support you wanting to have a healthier and active life style as much as possible.

- ^ That's quite an achievement though. You should be proud of yourself.
I call myself squishy to make it not seem as bad. XD However I would like to lose some weight. My stomach and thighs could use some work, as well as other parts of my body. I want to start running again but we don't always have the healthiest foods at home, so that doesn't help. :/
Huzzah, someone else who uses the word "squishy" to describe themselves too! XD

Salads are only mostly unhealthy because of dressing that is put on them. Most salads without dressing wouldn't be that high in fat, You always have the option of asking what's going on the salad and asking them to modify it for you.
- Emily Alisa:
- And honestly, salads are restaurants aren't that healthy anymore. Bahaha I guess they still could be, depending on where you are exactly going, but for the most part the salads are no longer the "healthiest choice" when dinning out. ;//
Yeah it can get pricey, I'm the only one at my house who drinks skim milk and I have to have my own half-gallon, so I understand.
Well, to nit pick, not all salads have meat or cheese in them, and in a restaurant you can ask them to remove parts of the salad.
- Emily Alisa:
- Well not just the dressings, but all the other little fun tid-bits that come along with it like the meats or cheeses. Plus you have to keep in mind the portion-size, over all, when ordering a salad you have to be very careful these days.
I've never seen any salad anywhere that is just greens, they all have the extra stuff that is tagged along with it, no matter what that "extra" may be. However, you can order it plain if you desire it that way.

I feel like people do have a least a little bit of choice as to how their food is prepared, all it takes is effort and, when eating out, asking questions about the food and what's in it. You have a right to know.
Restaurants serving-sizes are ridiculous, I'm sure everyone is aware of that. Main-course salads are quite huge and if your so worried about what your putting into your mouth that you are ordering a salad with just greens and some vegetables thrown in there like they were decorations with a "watched" portion of lite or regular salad dressing, I doubt your going to eat the whole over-sized-plate full. Actually, a person like that would probably ask for just half of the plate and have the other half wrapped up in a doggy bag. Which isn't a bad a idea for all over-portion-sized meals at restaurants because most of us don't feel "full" until all of the food is gone. Baha.

- ^I've only heard of the little fun tid-bits on the salads from McDonalds. Otherwise, you could ask for them on the side, if at all. And why would you watch the portion sizes of a vegetable plate? Unless it was something like a pasta or potato salad, you'd rarely ever mind how many/much greens you eat. Like veronika said, it's just the dressing you really have to watch.
